Mayor Sipma presiding and led the

ance. Mayor Sipma described some

of his meetings and activities over

the past month. He also said, there

and individual contact concerning

City business. Jantzer moved Olson

pointment of Tammy Zietz Nesdahl

to the Planning Commission with a

term to expire June 2025. Interim

City Manager, David Lakefield, be-

gan the City Manager’s report by

listing upcoming meeting dates. He

then described the 2021 budget

priorities and the timeframe for pro-

ducing and approving the 2021

budget. He provided a quick view of

sales tax collections but ack-

nowledged that sales tax collections

are volatile throughout the year so it

is difficult to provide a definitive pro-

jection. He mentioned that they are

confident in the effect of Hub City

collections for the City of Minot due

to the structure of how collections

are distributed. Mr. Lakefield then

provided construction updates on

31st Avenue Reconstruction, which

is on schedule, the 10th Street

Storm Sewer which is underway,

and Flood Control Phases MI-1,

MI-2/3 and MI-4 /maple Diversion.

He also described the traffic signal

cabinet switchovers which will re-

place equipment throughout the City

and enable traffic engineers to com-

municate with intersections. He an-

nounced that City buildings will reo-

pen in time for the next Council

meeting June 15th. Pending any

drastic changes in the situation, staff

will return to work and will continue

normal operations. Mr. Lakefield be-

gan his NDR update by announcing

John Zakian’s resignation. Zakian

was hired in 2017 and has helped

align the City with compliance regu-

lations with CDBG-DR and NDR

funds. He is moving on to a position

in Texas later this month. Mr. Lake-

field continued his update by saying,

the NDR Grantees are requesting a

time extension from Congress due

to the COVID-19 pandemic. The re-

quest for support is later in the agen-

da. The relocation of City Hall pro-

ject is currently undergoing environ-

mental review and the Family

Homeless Shelter is accepting bids

this month. He concluded his report

by saying the Hazardous Waste Col-

lection has been scheduled for June

19-20 at Public Works. Residents

can drop off hazardous materials

and electronics for proper disposal

during that time. Wolsky asked for

an update regarding the search for a

new City Manager. The HR Director

stated, they are still looking for firms

and will bring them to Council once

collected. The City Attorney provid-

ed a written report. Pitner moved

moved Jantzer seconded and after

discussion was carried by the fol-

lowing roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer,

Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma;

nays: Straight, Wolsky to approve

the gaming site authorization for The

Aggie Foundation to install electron-

ic dispensing devices at Quality Inn

seconded and after discussion was

carried unanimously to place and

pass ordinance 5510 on first reading

for the Library exterior improve-

ments. Olson moved Jantzer

seconded and after discussion was

carried to authorize execution of

Bank of North Dakota Flex PACE

Documents for Blu on Broadway.

Wolsky mentioned the concerns

raised by a local contractor and said

it would not be prudent to move for-

ward until the issues were ad-

dressed. Mr. Zakian stated, he

responded to the contractor’s con-

cerns in an email in which he includ-

ed the Council. He explained that

there is no legal basis for the com-

plaints that were made. The contrac-

tor raised concerns over whether the

selection process for contractors

was appropriate. Mr. Zakian said,

pursuant to federal law, when using

a developer for a project, it is within

the purview of the developer to use

whatever methodology they deem

appropriate to choose a contractor.

In this case, they used a method of

competitive bids and awarded the

lowest bidder. To select a developer,

the City did extensive vetting based

on the costs of the project and the

cap of NDR funds that will support

this project. The Developer Agree-

ment that Council approved covers

all of the requirements and specifi-

cations a developer has to live up to

but it is up to the developer to

choose methodology for contractors.

Each time the developer submits do-

cumentation for reimbursement, the

HUD standards will be followed to

ensure all costs are necessary and

reasonable. Another compliance re-

quirement a grantee is required to

follow is to monitor compliance with

the federal Davis-Bacon law re-

garding prevailing wages. He said

there was also a complaint filed re-

garding discrimination based on civil

rights laws. They are obligated to in-

vestigate and resolve it, however

there was nothing provided by the

contractor that had a relationship to

those requirements. He then pointed

out that under Federal Statute, a

grantee has 15 days to respond to a

complaint and this was done in

three. Pitner stated, he has been op-

posed to this project since the begin-

ning because of variances, satura-

tion, and concerns over the splash

pad on Broadway and he still can’t

support the project going forward.

The following roll call vote was tak-

en: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula,

Sipma, Straight; nays: Pitner, Wol-

sky. The abatement request was

pulled from the agenda and will be

considered at a later City Council

meeting. Jantzer moved Pitner

seconded and after discussion was

carried unanimously to approve

plans and specifications and recom-

mend approval to SRJB for bidding

of the Utility relocation portion of the

Maple Diversion MI-4A of the

MREFPP and approve the resolu-

tion of funding. Jantzer moved Olson

seconded and after discussion was

carried unanimously to place and

pass ordinance 5511 on first reading

to approve the language for the rein-

statement of the second penny sales

tax following the anticipated expira-

tion on June 1, 2021. Finance Direc-

tor, David Lakefield explained that

staff is working with the State Tax

Commissioner on the ordinance

language. He said, when the ordi-

nance was approved by Council, it

was contingent upon voter approval

at the June 14, 2011 election, which

passed. The language in the ordi-

nance says it is effective on the later

of these actions, which would be,

June 14, 2011. The State Tax Com-

missioner handles tax collections

and has a different opinion on the ef-

fective date. They need to have the

ordinance 90 days in advance and

the tax begins the first day of the

quarter. Their opinion is that the

sales tax will sunset September 30,

2021 and the new penny would be

effective October 1, 2021 but the

language in the ordinance still refer-

ences June. The language may

have to be revisited with the Tax

Commissioner’s Office and resolved

prior to second reading to make sure

there is no gap in collections. Olson

asked Mr. Lakefield to explain how

the ordinance can be amended by

Council without a vote of the public,

to which he responded by saying,

the ordinance was initially esta-

blished to fund NAWS. Since NAWS

was tied up in litigation, the expec-

tation was that collections were suffi-

cient to fund to completion. It was

sent for voter approval to redirect

funds to Community Facilities even

though was not required for a vote to

be taken. Straight commented on

the desire for residents to have a

conversation once NAWS is com-

plete, to decide where dollars should

be directed. He listed some of the

impacts of Community Facility funds

and the sales taxes they collect for

the City. Jantzer asked Mr. Lakefield

to explain the bonding scenarios for

flood control and how they relate to

sales tax collections. Mr. Lakefield

said, it is one of the unknowns but is

being discussed at the legislature

with the long-term low interest loans.

Because a portion of the sales tax

funds flood control, if we are going

to issue bonds, the sales tax cannot

expire before the life of the bonds or

they need an alternative funding

source. At the recommendation of

their bond counsel, language was in-

cluded regarding the termination

clause to cover outstanding debt in

relation to those projects. Wolsky

commented on the importance of

this revenue source. He said he is

willing to have conversations on po-

tential adjustments later to make

sure it is used to meet the needs of

our community. He also recom-

mended the second reading take

place after the new Council is seat-

ed. Pitner moved Olson seconded

and carried unanimously to support

the letter from 13 CDBG-NDR Gran-

tees asking Congress to extend the

deadline to September 30, 2025 and

authorize the Mayor to send support

letters to the North Dakota Delega-

tion. Wolsky described the memo he

provided regarding NDR Ecological

Restoration Planning and read an

excerpt from the NDR Phase II ap-

plication. He said, since the Phase II

application was not funded in full,

some projects were reduced in

budget and scope. The Action Plan

became more prescriptive but in-

cludes an ecological guidance

manual for Flood Storage that will in-

clude guidance that covers activities

from evaluation of the parcels to po-

tential development of parcels for

use as wildlife habitat areas, trail

areas, habitat restoration areas, and

areas where outdoor environmental

education activities may be suitable.

The manual will combine flood

storage and water management

strategies as well as non-structural

solutions like buyouts with the

long-term flood protection system, to

create a layered approach to flood

risk reduction. He then brought up

the resolution approved by Council

in July 2017 demonstrating support

for improving the river and develop-

ing a resource from it. He said, he

believes they have a financial

resource in the NDR Program and a

good fit with the intent of the Council

and the waterway concept. He

asked Mr. Zakian to confirm whether

their concept is in alignment with

what can be done under NDR guide-

lines. One of his proposals was to

engage the Souris River Joint Board

in a subrecipient agreement since

they already have engineers and

consultants working in the area con-

ducting river restoration. Mr. Zakian

explained that in his research on the

planning study he found that SRJB

is not a partner in the CDBG-NDR

application or action plan. The origi-

nal application included projects that

did not make the final cut due to low

scoring. One of the concepts was a

series of trail ways connecting flood

storage areas. When that concept

was cut, it was replaced with this

planning study to create a resource

for future projects. There have previ-

ously been discussions with the

Park District to utilize the funding to

advance the concept in partnership

with the Park District to leverage

resources. Delays resulted from

questions relating to eligible con-

struction in flood buyout areas,

which has since been resolved.

There are also issues with resources

since the Park District has its own

capital projects to work on. The fu-

ture of the dead loops can be dis-

cussed but it is not within the scope

of the original planning study. They

could move forward with a subreci-

pient agreement with the Park Dis-

trict including a purpose, mission

and deliverables to the City. The

underlying principles have to con-

nect to impact from the flood and

show measures to mitigate flood

damage and promote resiliency.

Wolsky emphasized the connection

between the dead loops and the

flood since they are flood storage

areas and were created as part of

flood protection in the 1970’s. He

then mentioned the need to have

SRJB as a partner which should

have been included from the begin-

ning. They were a financial contribu-

tor to the application and it must

have been an oversight not to in-

clude them. He asked Mr. Zakian

what they need to do to add SRJB

as a partner and include them in this

work. Mr. Zakian said, to get the

dead loops into the planning process

would probably require a substantial

amendment. They could probably

craft a method that would meet HUD

standards to create a subrecipient

agreement with SRJB since they are

an eligible public entity. Wolsky

asked if there is a way to adapt NDR

dollars from projects that no longer

meet the City’s needs into areas that

can be more beneficial today. Mr.

Zakian responded by saying, HUD

will entertain amendments but the

first thing they will ask is for the City

to identify in the action plan where

the issue is discussed as an unmet

need. The dead loops are not in the

City’s action plan. Wolsky said he

would refer to them as flood protec-

tion storage areas. Mr. Zakian said,

the City is specific in the action plan

that flood storage areas are created

through buyouts and the ecological

restoration study is connected to

that activity. He said they could au-

thorize a substantial amendment to

change the scope of the planning

study and address the unmet needs

connected to using the dead loops

as flood storage areas. After addi-

tional discussion on logistics, Wol-

sky moved the City Council ap-

proach the Minot Park District to

gather stakeholder input, conduct

planning and partner coordination,

and preliminary engineering neces-

sary for phasing and estimating ac-

tivities associated with the following:

Ecological habitat restoration in our

buyout areas, along the active river

channel, in our flood storage areas

known locally as ‘dead loops’, and in

other areas adjacent to the river cor-

ridor already held by the public.

These should be assumed to include

but not be limited by the following

specific goals: development of ter-

restrial trails, water trails, and river

access points, restoration of native

species habitat and passive- mainte-

nance spaces and opportunities for

public uses that include walking, bik-

ing, cross country skiing, in- town

camping, fishing, canoeing, kayak-

ing, education, and birding as well

as additional supporting amenities.

Motion seconded by Straight. Mayor

Sipma asked if the motion would re-

quire an amendment be approved

by HUD, to which Mr. Zakian said,

no, he can start the conversation

with the Park District right away. He

will bring a framework of the agree-

ment to the Council at the next

meeting. Straight requested the

SRJB be included in the motion in

the subrecipient agreement. Wolsky

as the motion maker agreed. The

Mayor pointed out to the public that

these are federal grant dollars being

discussed. Olson asked if there was

any other potential use for the fund-

ing. Mr. Zakian said, it had been an

option to consolidate planning funds

and allocate them to other projects

but it was no longer needed be-

cause of the previous actions taken

by Council. A vote was taken on the

motion and carried unanimously.

Wolsky explained his memo and

described Strong Towns, a

non-profit from Minnesota whose

Founder and President, Chuck

Mahron, has spoken at Governor

Burgum’s Main Street Summits. He

said, Mr. Mahron makes compelling

arguments for unique development

and budget resources. Mr. Zakian

said, as a 501c3, Strong Towns

could be a subrecipient, however

they cannot duplicate what has al-

ready been done for the City. He list-

ed previous projects such as the

branding and marketing strategy

done through the OneBrand cam-

paign, the resource guide containing

grant opportunities developed by

Strengthen ND, and the IEDC as-

sessment and white papers on ND

resources for promoting sustainable

development. He said, they also

cannot use NDR funding to pay for

speakers, they need deliverables.

He said, he can invite Strong Towns

to offer a proposal with deliverables

that become part of the City’s overall

strategy for long term sustainable

growth. The focus would have to be

on the downtown or Oak Park area

because those areas were identified

in the action plan as being affected

by the flood. Wolsky moved the City

Council invite Strong Towns to pro-

vide deliverables including a Strong

Towns approach to economic and

disaster resilience, affordable hous-

ing, neighborhood resiliency, and

long-term sustainable growth with a

focus on downtown Minot, with a

budget not to exceed $40,000. Mo-

tion seconded by Straight. Straight

said he supports doing something

proactive for the business communi-

ty in a time when we definitely need

it. He would however, prefer to con-

duct the activities when we can

gather without restrictions on social

distancing. Podrygula commented

that he likes the idea of using

resources to help the community in

economic resilience especially dur-

ing a pandemic. He raised concerns

about the proliferation of studies and

would prefer to have something con-

crete to deliver. He also said they

need to look at more than down-

town. Many residents believe there

has been enough focus downtown

and economic activity and business

are more than just downtown. He

then questioned why Strong Towns

should be chosen over other similar

organizations. He said he reviewed

their website and they consider

themselves a media organization.

He wondered if that qualifies them to

be suited to what Minot is looking

for. He requested input from staff re-

garding other organizations that can

provide similar guidance and asked

what makes this one more qualified

than the others. Lastly, Podrygula

stated, this activity should be in con-

junction with a larger strategic plan

and he believes there are a lot of

things that have not been done yet

in the process. He said he is hesi-

tant to move forward. Upon ques-

tioning by Jantzer, Wolsky provided

clarification on the motion. Wolsky

clarified, it would take multiple visits

to accomplish what Strong Towns

can provide. He said his motion is

requesting they establish a direction

to move forward. Once they request

a proposal and offer the cost con-

straint it is possible Strong Towns is

not interested or willing to provide

the type of deliverable we need but

the hope is that it would be up to

$40,000. He then offered a response

to Podrygula’s concerns. He said,

this is a unique organization whose

message is not particularly common.

He said he believes they have a

unique niche in the larger market-

place. This type of visit exposes per-

spectives that can be the critical

component to reconsider our values

and put those values into practice.

They would complement a larger vi-

sion for strategic planning for the

City. Mr. Zakian said, if the motion is

approved, he will reach out to Strong

Towns and describe the framework

the City would need. He will then

ask for a proposal with a set of

deliverables, a proposed budget,

timeframe, and methodology for get-

ting paid. Once the proposal is re-

ceived, he will bring it to Council for

approval to move forward with a

subrecipient agreement. Pitner said

there is confusion regarding the in-

clusion of the $40,000 budget and

would request the dollar amount be

excluded from the motion. Mr. Zaki-

an said, there is currently about

$60,000 in uncommitted funds for

the activity. He can tell Strong

Towns what the available range is

but every cost they propose must be

necessary, reasonable, and justified

by HUD guidelines. Wolsky shared

his basis for inclusion of the $40,000

by saying, a site visit is probably in

the range of $5,000-$8,000 plus

travel expenses and the he would

expect about four visits. He said, it

can be removed from the motion if

preferred. The second agreed. At

the request of Podrygula, Mr. Zakian

and Mr. Billingsley offered their opin-

ions on Strong Towns. Olson stated

she cannot support the idea be-

cause it seems like they are looking

for an answer to a question they

haven’t asked yet. She said she

would like the Council to discuss a

strategic plan before inviting Strong

Towns to visit because at this point

they haven’t identified what they

should ask them to do. Straight said,

he saw Strong Towns at the Main

Street Summit and trusts Governor

Burgum’s direction. He believes the

community should be involved in the

discussion. Pitner pointed out that it

doesn’t hurt to ask for a proposal

and the Council can have a deeper

conversation when they know what

Strong Towns can offer. Podrygula

said he feels more assured there is

no money being spent but believes

they need further vetting before

moving forward. He would like to

see more options and know more

about them. Pitner mentioned the

Economic Development position that

has been discussed previously and

said it would be beneficial to have

an expert attend these presentations

and bring them back to Minot. A vote

was taken on the motion and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Jantzer, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma,

Straight, Wolsky; nays: Olson. Due

to the COVID-19 public health emer-

gency, in person attendance at the

meeting by the public is not allowed.

Comments can be submitted

through the City website but no com-

ments were received. Straight re-

quested an update from the One-

Brand campaign. Olson responded

with an email from Visit Minot ex-

plaining that they are continuing to

work but have made adjustments to

their launch date because of CO-

VID-19. She said, there will be signs

of the campaign this summer. Pitner

reminded everyone to participate in

the 2020 Census. Mayor Sipma stat-

ed the next item on the agenda

would be an executive session. The

topic of this executive session is City

Manager Contract: Pending Predict-

able Litigation – Attorney Consulta-

tion and Discussion of Potential Liti-

gation Strategy and/or Guidance for

Negotiation Strategy/Instructions.

The legal authority for closing this

portion of the meeting is Pursuant to

Authority of N.D.C.C. 44-04-17.1,

19.1, and 19.2. The topic or purpose

of this executive session is to seek

and receive legal advice relating to

the contract. Whereupon, Jantzer

moved Olson seconded and was

carried unanimously to move to an

executive session. The Mayor then

stated the executive session will be

recorded and all members of the

governing body are reminded to limit

their discussion during the executive

session to the announced topic. Any

collective decision, collective com-

mitment, or other final action by the

governing body must occur after it

reconvenes in an open meeting, un-

less final action is specifically re-

quired by law to be taken during the

executive session. The prohibition

on taking final action during the exe-

cutive session did not apply to pro-

viding guidance or instructions to our

attorney or negotiator. Mayor Sipma

asked the members of the public at-

tending the meeting to leave the

room. He stated, the Council antici-

pated adjourning the executive ses-

sion, and reconvening the open por-

tion of the meeting at approximately

8:30 pm. The executive session be-

gan at 7:32 pm and was attended by

all members of the City Council, as

well as the Mayor, City Clerk, City

Attorney, HR Director, Finance

Director/Acting City Manager, Public

Information Officer, Attorney Randall

Bakke (via telephone), and Jeff

Cahill of NDIRF (via telephone). At

9:00 pm, Jantzer moved Pitner

seconded and was carried unani-

mously to adjourn the executive ses-

sion and return to the regular City

Council meeting. The public was in-

vited to return to the meeting room

with the City Council meeting back

in session. There being no further

business, Jantzer moved Pitner

seconded and was carried to ad-

journ the meeting at 9:01 pm.
